| Description: | MS/CU United States Ambassador to the United Nations ADLAI STEVENSON (Adlai Ewing Stevenson) conducting press conference in American Airlines terminal at San Francisco international airport, California. Adlai Stevenson says he doesn’t have a prepared statement, but is willing to improvise. He says he's glad to be back in California, where he spent the first years of his life, and where his son & daughter-in-law reside. "I have more than one reason for enjoying my visit to San Francisco. This one of course is especially significant for me b/c I spent two of the most exhilarating months of my life here in 1945 attached to the U.S. delegation to the San Francisco conference at which the United Nations was born. To come back after twenty years to review the accomplishments of the past... not only a sentimental journey but also a very hopeful look into the future. So indeed I count this one of the more memorable instants of my life, to come here on the 20th anniversary of the United Nations, which as of today is still a teenager." Very poignant words from a man who would pass a few weeks later. | |
